I think for the most part people that actually do good on Hive starts relying on Hive as a backup for when things go sour... trust me I've been there and I think I still am. It's not that I want to take Hive out! It's crap and it feels like one is going backwards.
However if I could stack as much as I could I sure as hell would! I think my problem was that I should have never powered down in the first place! Would have had well over 13k Hive now, yet here I am!
I can relate to this sentiment as well. I think the blame is partly misplaced if we have to pin it on people that cash out. The usual users that do cash out need the money and if they can stack up to invest, they probably would have invested. These people aren't the demographic that can push the candle bar into green and up the price, and I'm also guessing that even with the sell pressure in place, the values they cash out aren't even enough to move the price down since it's really the big boys that are longing or shorting that dictate the price movement, not the little guys on survival mode.
Yeah that is so! That is so! The little I power down doesn't really affect anything... However take a thousand of us or even two thousand and it might be a different thing altogether... Although the current price might be something else driving behind it? The reason for it being so low? Also the price being so low is keeping me from wanting to sell... I tink I should stack up some now, it's ridicilously cheap and who knows when we will get another chance like this!
Hive is following BTC movements and controlled by market making bots that track these movements, my guess alone.
